Abstract

QA text can seem professional, comical, chic, or angry depending on the typeface that a designer chooses. With that in mind, I wanted to try my hand at creating my own typeface during my semester abroad in Trier, Germany. I knew that other designers had created typefaces inspired by specific places or objects, and I wanted to challenge myself to create a unique interpretation of my city within the limitations of a typeface.
